Key details at a glance
The core SaaS stack spans frontend (Next.js/React), API layer (Node.js/.NET), multi-tenant data model, and auth/billing/usage metering. Multi-tenancy is an architectural decision made at build time — it is not something you can retrofit later without a costly rebuild. MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the north-star metric; NRR (Net Revenue Retention) measures expansion within existing accounts. A healthy SaaS business targets under 2% monthly churn — anything higher signals a retention problem that growth alone won't fix.
